At Vessel, we are explorers and have vessels that have reached land, and vessels at the bottom of the ocean. Our passion is to be part of the exploration from the very beginning. To find and support the captain and crew as they just begin, and to build ships ourselves for our own conquests. While our Zell Flagship Fund seems like a "traditional" early-stage Venture Fund, we are working everyday to enhance, disrupt, and fundamentally change the industry for the better. We are building an ecosystem for this journey through the fund, individual SPVs and the Ohio Angel Collective. Please reach out to join us!
